We weren't going to go 0-24 the rest of the way. That's silly to even think that we would lose every single game the rest of the way, if you are being realistic. We beat the teams that are just as bad as us.

It took a career night from Jordan and a franchise record for number of 3's in the game to squeak by a team just as bad as us. We won't shoot like that again and our defense it still just as bad as ever.

I'm not sure we even beat a good team with that performance. The Kings still had chances to win at the end of the game.

This!

No one should worry about the Lakers getting more Ws if this is what it takes to get one. We're about to hit the gauntlet in our schedule and it will give a whole new meaning to March Madness!

I can see some good teams falling to us in possible trap game scenarios, but with the playoff jockeying going on heading down the stretch, even those type of Ws will be hard to come by.

So don't worry...the tanking will commence...we are not a very good team!

Exciting game. Not complaining about winning, but the insertion of Bazemore into the lineup at the end was sort of strange... He made two somewhat boneheaded plays: Pushed the ball HARD when we were down one with 10 seconds to go, almost resulting in a turnover, then threw the lob to Wes. Maybe the lob was a designed play, but it seems like a little ballsy of a play, especially with how much time was left.

The only reason I'm personally not thrilled with this win is that I want 'Antoni gone the day the season ends. I don't want is getting wins against good teams and finishing the year strong and our FO going "well see the team got relatively healthy and 'Antoni got them playing well, he deserves another season". I don't want there to be a shred of hope that anything 'Antoni is doing can be something to build on, I want his a** fired and nowhere to be seen next season.

That said it's still nice to see our players that into a game. Throwing down a bunch of awesome dunks for a change, all excited on the bench, having something to celebrate.

Awesome game and at that moment i was thrilled But then, the reality settled in. Games like this will come back and kick us in the balls on draft night. I rather remember the 2014 season as the one, when we drafted a franchise player (Embiid/Wiggins/Parker), rather than a season, when we won against Portland, Sacto or Boston That won't get us anywhere.

The only way he gets fired IMO is if he legitimately looses the locker room. Otherwise you have to look at the message being sent to potential coaches. We've fired everyone not named Phil Jackson for the last 15 years. That's a HUGE RED FLAG for a potential coach of this team.

MDA needs to be gone but the FO needs an objective reason (i.e. losing the locker room)to fire him. Not that his "style" doesn't work, or that fans don't like him. If you were a coach without a job and you saw that the Lakers fired EVERY SINGLE PERSON not named Phil over the last 15 years, wouldn't you be worried?

Good point.

I really do want Pringles gone, but I doubt it happens till his contract is up. I just hope we don't try to build a team around his system any more than we already have.

We aren't winning a chip without defense, and I don't think he knows the meaning of the word.
